Why Don't They Make Bar or Counter Height Desks?


Sometimes my mind wanders while I am working at my desk.  (Big surprise there, right?)  My work area is as cramped as can be and I always am trying to think of a way to create a more organized and efficient space by increasing the amount of storage space I have.  Then it occurred to me that I would have quite a bit more storage space if my desk was higher.

I have never seen a writing desk or a computer desk that was a counter or bar height.  Just think of how many more drawers, file cabinets, and storage bins could fit under there!  There are dining room tables that would work for this purpose.  Most pub tables are round or square because they are meant to create a social area, but rectangular ones do exist.  How's that for creative dining table ideas?  Would you expect any less from me?  After all, my current desk chair is a dining room side chair and my printer stand is a living room end table.

When Things Feel Out of Control, Reorganize What You Can Control


When things start to feel out of control in my life, I like to regroup and assess what I can do to make things better for the parts of my life that I actually can control. Things are pretty stressful right now.  Money has been tighter than it's ever been, our three children have been arguing far too much, and I feel like there are not enough hours in the day to handle my PR work, my 2 blogs, my style column on Examiner.com, and my other online obligations on top of taking care of my family.  I really do not want to give up any of the above, so what should I do?  Right . . . reorganize my office space.

My "office" is one wall of my husband's and my bedroom.  I have a writing style computer desk with two side-by-side shallow drawers located beneath the desk's top.  Above my desk hangs a mirror.  Seriously, could I have any less storage space?  What I need is a serious home office computer desk fit for a laptop-user with not one, but two hutches, like this Tribeca Loft Executive Desk from the Kathy Ireland Home collection.  Just think of all the clutter I could hide in those drawers!

Yes, I did mention that money is extremely tight right now.  I might have to settle for just replacing that mirror above my desk with some modest, but sturdy shelves.
